I had a day off from work and i'm so happy :)

Attended a half-day course in the morning, and the trainer finished it in 2 hours so my colleague and i went bras shopping! haha...
After which, she went to meet her friend for lunch while i headed home.
The urge to go home and blog is always so strong, but the mind is willing and yet the flesh is weak, aha... I was so tired that i slept 3 hours straight. omg. why am i so tired?

And so, here i am, blogging after dinner.
Feeling a bit queasy in the stomach and i'm wondering why. I don't know what i ate wrong yesterday cos i was having mild diarrhoea today :(

I'm trying to do an update of my life up to this juncture. It's like, okay i need to clear the whole backlog of updates until i'm on track to blog again daily... 

Work
I've transferred to another department in the same bank and i need not slog my life away anymore like i used to. No more sales numbers that i desperately need to hit monthly. 
Anyway, I had never wanted to go into banking after leaving the teaching career. Definitely not sales. 
I wanted a desk bound job, everyday can sit pretty in the office in a very nice building can liao. OKay, i know i sibei shallow and bimbotic, but yeah... that's like my dream job, haha..
But i also don't know how i ended up working as a banker and 3 years just went in a flash.
Time flies.
It's rather easy to be hired to do banking sales if you are a fresh grad / someone with no prior banking experience. The turnover rate is very high because you either make it or you don't. 
To be honest, it was a stepping stone for me to get into the industry and eventually get my dream job (office 9-6pm, haha). Cos teaching and banking do not really mix, so it's difficult to switch from teaching straight to a desk-bound job in banking.

So yeahhhh... now my office is in a super chio building in a dynamic place :)
Though the pay not as attractive now but you really can't have the best of both worlds.

My office just had a SKII bazaar and i got my bottle of 神奇水 @ half-price! And also got a free Cellumination Essence EX!

It was my first time trying the Cellumination essence and i think it's effective!
Dunno if it's me or what, but i really saw the skin glow the next morning after i used my first drop the night before!
However, it may give me a clogged pore if i used too much of it. Maybe the product is too rich, or perhaps my skin is way too sensitive cos it usually reacts to new products in the initial stage.
After that, will be okay liao...
My colleagues were all raving on how good this is, haha..
But this tiny bottle is darn expensive! Almost $300 for 50ml -_- and i'm glad i got it for free!!!
after use finish then worry ba, haha.. i every night use 1 drop, should be able to tahan until next year end. keke...

My hair stylist commented that my skin looks different from the last time he saw me, which was roughly 8 months back. He say it looks more radiant, hahaa.. i tell him i wont be sweet-talked into spending money on their hair treatments.. Lol, but he said maybe i everyday see myself so didn't notice the difference.
Haha.. i guessed Fraxel laser did the best improvement on my skin.
I would need probably 2-3 more sessions of it to completely smoothen out my pitted scars.
But the thought of going through the whole procedure and one whole week of downtime still scares me.

The other facial products i'm using...

I use the SK2 Facial essence and this Clarins shaping facial lift in the morning. The HydraQuench Cream-Gel is my day moisturiser as well.
Night time will use the cellumination essence cos i reckon it may be too rich for my skin if i use it twice a day. The HydraQuench cream-mask is my nighttime moisturiser.
No choice need to take care of my aging skin liao. O well......

This is also recommended by my colleague. Hair tonic, hahaha... Shit, i feel darn old even talking about aging skin and thinning hair, ahha

But this is really effective.

My hair is very fine and little. It looks like i'm balding especially on the top of my head. Or maybe i am :S

Usually, i'm very skeptical when it comes to all these products but after using 3 bottles, my friends have commented that the empty patch on my scalp is less obvious liao.
I didn't even ask them, but they ownself noticed and told me about it. So i know this is good, ahha..
Hopefully it gets better.

Also stocked up on my monthly contact lenses. Buy 4 pairs free 4! Total damage= $112 for 8 months.
It's even cheaper as compared to buying them from BKK!
BKK sells one pair for 17 bucks. and i got $14 for each now, YAY ^^ love good deals!

This whole post is like updating on all the things i bought lol..

My blouse from Stradivarius @ Ion orchard.
Chiffon blouse with bow-trim. Taken in the office toilet on the day i wore it to work.

It comes in Navy, black as well as white. However, i think this blush colour suits my skin better and the colour combination is nicer.
Bf asks why i go and buy cosplay costume, Tsk!
But every single colleague who saw me in the top commented, haha! Most of them said it looked good, one said i look more serious. One commented that it looks like an Aircrew uniform when i paired it with my blazer, lol. Even the big boss also say, Wah nice new top! haha

I tried on this jacket too. Love it cos it's denim plus cotton sleeves and a detachable hood.

BUT, it's a whopping $89.95. forget it haha... maybe go back to buy when i can't stop thinking about it or when i'm feeling rich, haha..

Last monday, i met up my lovely ex-colleagues.
Clare who is flying back to her hometown tomorrow to hold her wedding banquet.

Cyndy gave her 2 cards for her friends to write their wedding wishes on and a couple Mickey bride and groom pens. Lol...
I gave her a POREfessional pro balm primer from Benefit, since she kept complaining of her visible pores. keke...

Cyndy also helped me get these Nanoblock characters from BKK!
